I think that the best thing B & S could do is release a series of ultra - collectable limited edition 7" singles on a singles club label.
Nonsense
The band could even do the artwork themselves; I mean, they could hand - paint the sleeves, or whatever.
Oh how sweet
Tigermilk... should not be re-released. Let it stay collectable.
Please explain why precisely. If you have a copy, presumably you want to keep it expensive so that when they get too popular to be smug about liking them you can sell them to some hapless Japanese tourist for some over-inflated price. If you don't, then you are simply mad.
Where is this Smile night in Manchester??
It's a place where pop fans go to share their love of ace records. SHARE, comprendez? Look Chris I'm sure you're a sweet guy and all, but please don't be so precious. To decree that 'Tigermilk' should only be available to the select few is nothing more than snobbery. Let me tell you the story of the record fair this weekend, I played host to two Northern Soul fans front Sweden this weekend. Their love for this music was unquestionable. Music that, may I remind you, was made at least 25 years ago...Let's just imagine a gang of Belle and Sebastian fans in 30 years time (not difficult, this is timeless music). So in your Stalinist pop regime, these enthusiastic pop kids would never be able to find the music they truly love or else play 1000's of pounds for the privilege. What you suggest denies a new generation of people from buying something that makes them feel good, just through accident of time and place of birth. I saw 50 year old Northern Soul officianados with big smiles on their faces, just because 20 year olds had come miles to celebrate the music they loved. Much nicer than a clique, don't you think.. repent of your sins Chris and I'll tell you where Smile is...you know it makes sense. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
